In general Java 7 is on Android not supported. So you have to use Java 6 on Android.

Java 7 is supported from Android API 19 (KitKat 4.4), but it will fail on any other version below.

No, it won't fail, you're making that up. You can even use Java 8, thought technically it's not supported, so I wouldn't recommend it.
